A rare Bergama bag front

West Anatolia

19th ct.

 

A rare Bergama bag front (heybe), knotted in beautiful saturated colours and geometrized floral ornaments. The small knotted bags are very rare to find in Anatolia, which makes them very desirable. This small and antique bag face has an interesting stiched decoration towards the opening side.
